I currently have a difficult time swallowing certain things. This has just happened in the last year. I have several medications that I take and I used to be able to take a handfull all at once. Now, I can only take a couple at a time. Also, when I eat, I have to have a swallow of water to get it down and sometimes it stays in my throat for a long time. Am I a candidate for lapband. After ready all the messages about swallowing and "golf" ball syndrome, I'm rethinking my decision. Help
